Indian jetliner hijacked
NEW DELHI—An India Airlines B737 737 en route from New Delhi to Bombay was hijacked this morning to Lahore, Pakistan, Indian authorities said. The plane, with 77 passengers and six crew members aboard, later landed safely at Lahore airport after a lone hijacker ordered the plott to divert the plane, said AFP.
The hijacking occurred shortly after the plane left Palma International Airport here at 7 a.m. local time (8:30 p.m. CST) Thursday en route to Bombay with stops in the Indian cities of Jaipur and Aurangabad. Delhi flight control lost radio communication and it then landed until it landed in laboratories about one and a half hours after takeoff, authorities said.
There was no immediate indication of a motive for the hijacking.

DURANGO, L.A. Kan—An inmate of the U.S. Penitentiary at Leavenworth, a federal jury in an insurance fraud trial tended yesterday. Ready, were convicted by a federal jury in an insurance fraud trial tended yesterday.
Ready was convicted on all eight counts of a grand jury indictment charging the couple with defrauding the Internal Revenue Service of $19,500 by filing false tax
The case had generated publicity because of published reports that inmates at the penitentiary had engaged in a computer tax scheme to defraud the IRS of $2.3 million.
However, no testimony of such a scheme was presented during the trial, and the government prosecutor, James Pusateri, said he had seen no evidence to that

Ford's only campaign excursion of the week was a two-mile trip yesterday to speak with American Jewish leaders and major Jewish service organization. He used the occasion to criticize Carter's foreign policy proposals, saying they would leave Europe without even being examined and unable to defend their freedom.
Carter immediately responded. Ford and the Republicans, he said, apparently have been in Washington so long that "throwing a party would be unacceptable," but doesn't seem to bother them any more."
Tax relief measure ready for final vote
WASHINGTON (AP) — Senate-House conferees approved a far-reaching bill last night that assures tax relief to individuals who have invested in real estate, happily raises the tax on wealthy investors.
The basic individual tax-cut extension would be worth about $180 a year to a Vivendi unit.
In addition, the measure would completely overhaul the gift and estate tax laws; provide special tax benefits to working parents, the elderly and a host of industries; and simplify the tax-filing process.
The bill, three years in the making, now
replaces the House and Senate for final
passage.
Without extension of the tax cuts, a family of four earning $6,000 would lose $44 a year. A single person earning $3,000 would face a $18 increase in taxes ($10,000 would have to pay $24 more.
owed. Or, a taxpayer could subtract two percent of the taxable income for top credit of $100.
Another provision, increasing the number of taxpayers deductions to $1,700 and $2,400 for single people and to $2,100 and $2,800 for couples, applies only to the 60 per cent of taxpayers.
The third portion of the individual cut is a credit up to $400 for working families with children. It is designed to give these families an incentive for staying off the welfare rolls.
Other major provisions affecting ordinary taxpayers would allow working parents to cut taxes by up to $800 a year to hire a lawyer; they could liberalize a complex retirement-income credit and apply it to all types of income for those over 65; authorize a first step that will help them buy many housewives, and allow tax-free treatment of group legal-service plans.
Mao's death clouds future . . .

reported recently, and contending groups have been using the anti-Temp campaign to dissuade them.
THIS IS suggested by the violence that swept Peking and other major cities in early April when Teng made his ill-timed attempt on his former and was fired by a still vigorous Mao.
Given the short and inconclusive five hours Hua has been in the No. 2 spot and that she has not made a strong contest for the chairmanship—the most powerful job in China—could escalate
There was no immediate indication which might emerge as successor to Mao. Under the party constitution of 1973, the Central Committee of 195 members must choose the chairman.
Hua, 57, is regarded as occupying a middle ground between the quarrelling radicals and moderates. But he may not at least urge to entrench himself securely at the top.
Hua, the relatively obscure former security minister who was made premier when Mao fired Teng, was named party leader in 1956 and time, making him China's No. 2 man.
AMONG OTHER contenders for Mao's job are Jiang Ching, 62, a member of the party Folitburo; and her three radical rivals, Shi Yuqiang, 57, Shanghai boy wonder raised by Mao from
the factory assembly line to a party vice chairmanship for his services in the 1966-68 Cultural Revolution; Chang Chun-chiao, about 38, first vice premier and member of the Politburo Standing Committee; and Yao Wen-yuan, about 51, critic and Politburo chief butter attacks on the establishment touched off the cultural purge in 1966.
The moderate candidates include Yeh Chien-ying, 78, Chou's old crony who is a party vice chairman and defense minister, and Li Hsien-nien, a vice premier. Yeh and Chien-Hsi-len, commander of the Pekin army, are also strong military backing, but age and sporadic ill health complicate Yeh's chances.
MAO'S THUGHES became the guiding principle for nearly everything that went on in China and were famous around the world. The stories of copies of his "Little Red Book" were printed.
Among the most widely known quotations were those on revolution and on guerrilla war.
"A revolution is not the same as inviting people to dinner or writing an essay or writing a novel," she said of needwork. It cannot be anything so refined, so calm and gentle, so mild, kind, courteous, restrained and magnanimous. A revolution is not about whereby one class overthrows another."
Omaha business selected for KU-city transit studv
The architectural and engineering planning firm of Hemingson, Durham and Richardson, Omaha, was selected yesterday to prepare a transportation study for Lawrence sponsored by the city and the KU Student Senate.
A committee that included Steve McMurry, Senate Transportation Subcommittee chairman; Buford Watson, city manager; and representatives from Haskell Indian Junior College and the Lawrence school board made the selection.
The firm will begin its six-month
evaluation of current transportation systems in Lawrence in a few weeks, McMurry said yesterday. Recommendations will be included in the final report.
McMurray the committee was impressed with the firm's previous experience in planning transportation systems and transit studies for other cities in the nation.

Mao's death was the third this year among the founders of Communist China. Chou died in January and Chi Teh, founder of the Red Army, died in July.
And perhaps the most famous quotation:
"Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun."
That left only Yeh Chien-ying as practically the only surviving leader of those who led the war against the Kuomintang to its triumph in 1949. The 10-member Politburo Standing Committee now has only four members-Hua, Wang, Yeh and Chang.
Regardless of who wins the party chairmanship, the nation's recent policy of furloughing workers to survive, at least for now, chiefly because China's own survival may be up in it. The move toward rapprochement was a major factor of what it calls Soviet expansionism.
But in recent months, beginning with President Ford's visit in December, the Chinese have made it plain that they are impatient to achieve full diplomatic cooperation that would result in a rupture of U.S. relations with the Republic of China on Taiwan.
THE CENTRAL Committee announcement emphasized that Communist China would continue its policy for what it calls the liberation of Taiwan.
The Russians hope that in the post-Mao period new Chinese leaders will reassess their own strategies and continue unabated but. Both moderates and radicals are committed to a policy of such deep antagonism toward the West, and should understand that the gap may never be bridged.
The door always has been open, however, for some kind of accommodation on government lines. American hesitation to take Peking could result in initiatives toward a tendered as a reminder that the Chinese also can play the game of power politics.
